Nuclear-powered Sword Immortal-Chapter 820 - 695 Siege
Chapter 820: Chapter 695 Siege
"So fast!"
Xie Yusheng, piloting the Cheng Ying Mecha, was the first to detect the rapidly approaching twelve large Shu Guang Goddess unmanned drones.
"Since when did Blue Star develop such terrifying drones?"
Not only Xie Yusheng himself.
As the movements of the Cheng Ying Mecha attracted the attention of everyone worldwide, when the twelve Shu Guang Goddess drones surged into the skies to intercept the Cheng Ying Mecha, nearly every nation with advanced detection capabilities simultaneously received the information.
Countries such as Da Jin, Yellow Dragon, Central Earth, which hold the reins on the Eastern Continent, began intense discussions immediately.
In no time, they reached a shocking conclusion.
"Conspiracy! Conspiracy! This is a conspiracy!"
"Their previous provocation in the name of the Sky Brilliance Country was merely to test whether we had a connection with the Qian Star people, Lu Ya, or simply to provoke Lu Ya, enticing him to appear once again. For this moment, the Star Shining Federation, and indeed the entire Blue Star Federation, have fully prepared, carefully setting up a trap!"
"We have related data on the Shu Guang Goddess drones, but the original Shu Guang Goddess’ speed absolutely hadn’t reached this level... It seems the Blue Star Federation’s collaboration within the alliance is far higher than we imagined, they even conducted shared cutting-edge technology, almost making the Blue Star Federation a political community."
Zhao Tianfeng, Dong Xuanyuan, Han Guanglie, and others received the information one after another and immediately approached Xie Yusheng.
They seemed to want him to try and see if he could make contact with that Qian Star person Lu Ya, temporarily retreating to avoid falling into the Blue Star Federation’s trap.
Unfortunately...
Xie Yusheng, controlling the Cheng Ying Mecha in True Spirit Form, indeed knew the conspiracy of the Blue Star Federation.
But...
Both parties were now fully exposed in each other’s line of sight.
If he withdrew now, he would inevitably bring these Shu Guang Goddess drones back to the Central Earth Kingdom.
Then, would the Central Earth Kingdom help intercept them?
If they intercepted...
Regardless of whether they could actually intercept them, even if they did so successfully, the Blue Star Federation would surely take advantage and attack, risking war igniting on Central Earth’s ground.
If they failed to intercept...
No need to elaborate.
With the fame of driving away the Cheng Ying Mecha, other Blue Star countries would undoubtedly defect to the Blue Star Federation, granting them absolute control within the federation, awaiting the outcome of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, amounting to slow suicide.
Thus, he couldn’t retreat under these circumstances.
"Fortunately, over the years, I’ve not done nothing."
Xie Yusheng murmured to himself.
Throughout the year, leveraging Lu Ya’s name, he diverted numerous materials, and up to today, has manufactured the second Cheng Ying Mecha.
The new Cheng Ying Mecha employs nuclear power materials, outperforming the "Thunder" model Cheng Ying Mecha, which could thus be considered a "Thunder" type II model.
If this Cheng Ying Mecha is truly shot down, he wouldn’t hesitate to dispatch the "Thunder" type II Cheng Ying Mecha.
"Regrettably, mastering the True Spirit Manifestation Technique is too difficult; so far, I’ve not fully mastered it. If I could grasp it, I could control two Cheng Ying Mechas simultaneously, avoiding the current situation of being encircled by twelve Shu Guang Goddess drones."
Xie Yusheng felt a tinge of regret in his heart.
With his recent status elevation, he became extremely busy, lacking a disturbance-free environment, which slowed his cultivation progress considerably.
His mind dispersed momentarily, but he quickly refocused, aiming at the twelve increasingly approaching Shu Guang Goddess drones.
As the drones neared, he had already locked them one by one with the ion cannon.
At that moment, twenty-four streaks of light fired simultaneously.
Amidst a roaring blaze, twenty-four missiles, each about four meters long, burned with tail flames...
No!
Amid the reverberating roar, flames sprayed.
With these explosive flames, the missiles accelerated to a speed almost unattainable for atmospheric missiles, shooting towards Xie Yusheng’s Cheng Ying Mecha at over twenty times the speed of sound, like streamers.
"These missiles!?"
Xie Yusheng’s eyes narrowed: "Not good."
Too fast!
Furthermore, too many missiles.
He simply couldn’t maneuver the ion cannon quickly enough to blast all twenty-four missiles one by one.
"No time!"
In the next second, Xie Yusheng swiftly placed his hand on the chest-mounted weapon depot. With energy infusion, electric arcs crazily coalesced on him.
Mere moments later, a magnificent and dazzling Thunder light burst, radiating wildly from him in all directions.
Electromagnetic Pulse Weapon—Thunderstorm!
The electric arc spread out like a domain, enveloping dozens of miles instantaneously.
Among the twenty-four missiles rushing into this domain at high speed, more than a dozen sparkled with electric light, plummeting to the ground, and several were detonated directly by high-power electric arcs, forming brilliant firework flames.
However...
The Blue Star Federation’s staff seemed to have dissected and researched the Cheng Ying Mecha’s performance thoroughly; they knew that having just launched the Thunderstorm, some instruments of the Cheng Ying Mecha would be similarly affected, causing temporary inability to reuse them.
Therefore, after forcing out Xie Yusheng’s Thunderstorm electromagnetic pulse weapon with nearly saturation bombing tactics via twenty-four missiles, another twelve missiles followed closely, shooting forth.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
With preparation, Xie Yusheng immediately retreated and distanced himself, activating the ion cannon.
Under lock-on, seven out of the twelve missiles were blown up mid-air by near-light-speed projectiles from the ion cannon before they could get close.
The remaining five...
As they were about to reach the front of the Cheng Ying Mecha, Xie Yusheng had already drawn the Ship-Slicing Blade carried by the mecha.
Accelerating to several times the speed of sound in the void, he suddenly spun, wielding the blade to unleash a brilliant and dazzling Sword Gang.
Strike! Strike! Strike!
Xie Yusheng’s strike speed reached the extreme!
Even though he hadn’t cultivated any True Qi or Gang Qi, relying solely on sheer power to compress air into Sword Gang, he shredded thousands of meters of clouds and void in front of him as if with an invisible force.
The five missiles couldn’t even breach a thousand meters in front of him before being torn to pieces in the air, scattering into metal fragments and flames.
"Damn! We can’t get close to him!"
"Using physical slashes to compress air, using it as a weapon!? How is this possible!? It’s so unscientific!"
"From dozens of miles away, there’s interception from the ion cannon, and within a few miles, you face Sword Gang from the mecha’s slash... We underestimated this mecha’s close combat capability."
In the military base of the Sky Brilliance Country, twelve operators, along with their teams behind them, fell into anxiety and frustration simultaneously.
"There’s no way; this ambush has failed. We wasted too many missiles at the start..."
A seemingly leader-like man turned his gaze towards the conference room.
In the virtual projection hall of the conference room, Robert and others were observing the situation here from thousands of miles away.
At this time, a staff member seemed to say something to him, and he immediately said, "Execute Plan Four!"
"Plan Four?"
The man was stunned for a moment, quickly nodded, and passed the order downward.
Immediately, these Shu Guang Goddess Unmanned Aerial Vehicles maneuvered at high speed, quickly closing in, choosing to launch missiles from all directions — above, below, left, and right.
"Do you really think I’m made of clay!?"
Xie Yusheng took a deep breath.
His originally retreating figure advanced instead of retreating.
Under the control of True Spirit, the ion cannon seemed alive, autonomously selecting one target after another, flashing radiantly.
As for himself, he unleashed his speed to the maximum, always ensuring enough distance and space for dodging and maneuvering.
Under these powerful shellings, those approaching Shu Guang Goddess UAVs couldn’t evade at all, and no matter if they fired missiles, it was meaningless. The missiles and the UAVs were blasted into pieces one after another.
But this tactic didn’t frighten these drones away.
Despite each Shu Guang Goddess UAV costing astronomical figures, with many components being experimental products valued in billions, operators still unhesitatingly piloted them to launch fearless assaults on the Cheng Ying Mecha.
While launching missiles to pin down Xie Yusheng, they used themselves as suicidal weapons, detonating upon entering Xie Yusheng’s vicinity.
Drones differ from missiles.
They possess much greater agility under human control.
In a burst of brilliant flames and roars, finally...
Three drones closed in from two directions to within five hundred meters of Xie Yusheng...
And upon reaching within five hundred meters, they didn’t hesitate for a fraction, boldly triggering the self-destruct sequence.
The next moment, an exceptionally brilliant glow was released from the three large UAVs, as if three radiant Suns simultaneously lit up in the void, just like...
A nuclear explosion!
This new type of Shu Guang Goddess UAV was initially designed to launch itself like a nuclear bomb.
At this moment, closing to within five hundred meters of Xie Yusheng and detonating simultaneously, its power release was almost identical to a nuclear bomb deployed at close range!
...
"Success!"
"Good!"
Seeing the three UAVs finally closing in on Xie Yusheng and successfully detonating, the operators and workers at the Sky Brilliance Country military base shouted in delight and excitement.
Even the big figures from the Blue Star Federation each felt a breath of relief, showing unstoppable joy on their faces.
Compared to the joy of the Blue Star Federation here, the folks at the True Immortal Research Institute of the Three Kingdoms Alliance each stood up vehemently.
But upon witnessing the brilliant flames and the blinding light engulfing all images on the screen, they collapsed back into their seats powerlessly.
"It’s over..."
"This power... is no less than a megaton-class nuclear bomb..."
"The reckless use of nuclear weapons, the Blue Star Federation... is too reckless, too insane!"
Zhao Tianfeng, Dong Xuanyuan, Han Guanglie, and others had unstoppable anger in their eyes.
At this moment...
Amid the endless strong light and flames, it seemed as though something was fiercely torn apart by a violent force, like...
A path was forcibly slashed open.
Within the corridor, a figure encircled by flames shot out rapidly, enveloped by blaze, and in the blink of an eye, surged into the sky, vanishing without a trace.
